I'd say it'd work just fine. It's a ground dependent antenna though so it would benefit from being mounted in the middle of the roof, taxi style, but obviously that's rarely practical

I use 1/4 wave steel whip antennas mounted on the front wing and although they are noticeably directional (the bonnet providing a ground plane in one direction only), they work well enough. You'll have a similar effect with a gutter mounted antenna.
